'I wonder if public marriage proposals are embarrassing?' What news anchor said moments before boyfriend surprised HER with his very own proposal live on-air

A news anchor was proposed to live on-air, just moments after questioning if such a public gesture would be 'embarrassing'.

Seconds later she found out exactly what would be like, as her partner Jim Swanson walked on set, got down on one knee and asked for her hand in marriage with the cameras rolling.
